resistor for convertible top
Has anyone purchased the individual items to make up the set for reducing the pressure on the convertible top?
If so would it be possible to get me the info as to what and where the items were purchased?
thanks

You'll find the resistor info in this thread -

Revised .PDF Available for Download
I've attached (I hope; my first attempt at this) the latest issue of the PDF file describing the Voltage Reduction System and its installation. This is issue 1.6. Probably not much of interest here if you have already installed the system.
If your're contemplating an installation, there are two new, improved installation methods shown. These are better than my own method shown in the first PDF. Thanks to Test_point and RichXK8 (member of another forum) for these contributions.
This will be, with a little luck, the last PDF for a while. If any user problems develop, I promise to report on them.
Edit: the most recent version of the PDF file is always available for download from: www.scorekeeper.com/jaguar/jaguar02.htm

Norri, no, please don't open that thread! There be dragons there!
Steelman ... my bad. I owed you a PM on this. The info is at the link Norri cited. Easiest to get to through the link in my sig. line below.
A quick google for a suitable resistor turned up ...
Aliexpress.com : Buy 0.2 Ohm 100Watt Power Metal Shell Case Wirewound Resistor 5% from Reliable case free suppliers on Shenzhen Fu-well Tech Co.,Ltd
... among others. (this one is from China; probably weeks for delivery.)

I installed the resistor and also only operate the top on battery power, just for good luck. No shower so far and I used the top a lot this summer.

Did you buy the pcs and assemble? If so did you purchase from the sites listed on the thread that has been linked?

Steelman, the only source for "plug and play" assemblies I know of is Reverend Sam, and I don't think he's making these up at present.
There are instructions on my link for choosing a resistor and connectors and soldering up what you need. Honestly it's pretty easy.

Thank you. I learned that Rev wasn't making them anymore. I was trying to find out if the websites listed were where he purchased his.

In spades. Ever seen that movie "Groundhog's Day"?
BTW, I like your Einstein quote. It has the rare virtue of being something he actually said.
